From: Tony Reesby To: All Thread: Fax printing garbage (1/12) Date: 17-Jun-97, 11:50am (Ref# 5412) I'm running BgFax ver 140A with FD 2.12 SW all under Windows 95..The problem I'm having, is after I receive a Fax, I go to print it out & all I get is garbage..I tried every possible switch in the command line, & nothing seems to work..It worked for me before, when I had a HP printer, but since I got this new printer (Epson Stylus 400 Color) I can't print anything out....Anyone have any ideas? I even tried a later version of View, ver 160 & it didn't work.. Thanks in advance for any help... --- WILDMAIL!/WC v4.12 * Origin: After-Hours BBS! Youngstown,OH (330)788-6875 (1:237/560.0)

Well, I just got mine working, but have not printed anything. It seems that the HP printer uses the PCL language, while the Epson might be using the ESC/P commands. Have you tried changing the fax image to a PCX, and then printing that using another program in Win95? Some wisdom for today is... You can delegate authority, but not responsibility. --- * Origin: The GOOD News BBS, Chattanooga TN, 423-698-0407 (1:362/112)

Thanks for the info Cameron, but I tried ALL the switches on the command line, but nothing worked..I finally had to convert the image over to PCX format, than print it out using the paint program in Win95, which is a pain.Do you know of any other utilitys that I can use with Win95 to read & print out a FAX ?

Yeah, I tried those switches, but still just printed out garbage..I finally had to convert the image over to PCX format & import it into Win95 pain & print it out..That is kinda a pain, cause you have to shrink the image before you print it out..Do you know of any other utils that would work in Win95 to read the BGFAX fax document & print it out without converting & shrinking?

Thanks for the info Mike, Yeah, that's what I had to do..It worked ok, but is a pain cause you have to shrink the image in Win95 paint after you convert it & import it....

Just a thought... If you received the fax in Quicklink mode using BGFAX, then stuffed it into Quicklink to print it... Just an idea... :-) I'm quite sure there are copies of Quicklink floating around. Using an HP DeskJet here View Prints far better than the DOS version of Quicklink. Quicklink "mashed" the first page of every fax printed. View didn't do that.
